American Lawn Mower Company 1204-14 14-Inch Deluxe Hand Reel Mower Review

I almost didn't buy this lawn mower because of some of the negative reviews about handles, etc. But the cheapo in me came back and snapped it up after seeing that used ones on Craigslist cost the same amount. My little lawn really needed a chop. When it arrived I put it together in about 5 min, simple no tools. I'm totally happy with the purchase, love cutting my small lawn, the sound, the feel, its light and easy to handle no gas stink or fouled plugs. Push and your done. It rolls over little twigs that others were complaining about. I live in the redwoods. You should rake your lawn anyway otherwise the twigs and leaves create a patchy clumpy lawn. No reason not to get this for the price. Unless you want the catch bag.

When it comes to hand-pushed reel mowers, what you want is low cost and high efficiency. That's what you get with the Great States push reel lawn mower. Though they call it their "Deluxe Hand Reel Mower," there's not much that's deluxe about it, but its simplicity is one of its nice features. When you're pushing a hand mower, fancy attachments are not what you're really after. Strength and easy maneuverability are more important, and the simplicity of the hand reel mower design, with its three height adjustment settings, allows you to do the job and get on with your weekend. The alloy steel reel and bed knife blades are sharp and strong, and, though the mower is light enough to carry, it's got enough heft for proper traction on slick grass. Assembly is easy enough--it doesn't take more than 10 minutes--and there's a limited 90-day warranty.
The Great States 14-inch deluxe hand-reel mower provides a clean, precise, scissor-like cut for most turf grasses -- especially for cool-season grasses such as bluegrass, fescue and rye. With a cutting width of 14 inches and a a cutting height of 1/2- to 1-1/2 inches, the mower has 8-1/2-inch diameter high impact, polymer wheels with integral molded tread. It includes a three-spider one-blade reel, an alloy steel reel, a bed knife blade, and an adjustable, three-section roller. The zinc-plated handle has plastic grips for greater comfort. Assembly is required for this unit. To assure a precise, fine cut, each American/Great States feel mower must pass inspection by cutting paper 1/3000-inch thick -- much thinner than a blade of grass. The mower weighs 19 pounds and comes with a limited 90-day warranty.
